A good video on making Herringbone Pen

Yes, Joe! Real good video! Especially the first half about making and assembling the pieces. Excellent use of a disk sander jig.

Thanks for posting!

Lots of fine detail work but worth the effort for the finished product! I am guessing that I would make more than a couple assembly errors along the way , but may give it a try later this summer.

Thanks for posting

Be well,

That looks like way to much work for me. Yes the results are nice, but all the cutting, sanding, gluing, gluing, gluing.....

I really did like the disk sander tool. I might make one of those for other purposes.

It is nice when someone shares a talent they have and you can get a feel for the efforts needed to turn that sort of pen. And thanks for sharing it here so we can appreciate it too.

I decided to try my hand at this. Wood is Walnut, Pecan, and Bubinga. Had to make a couple of jigs.

Very tedious, will probably ruin the whole "Ka-bob" when trying to turn it.

Have never tried my hand at making a pen.

Looks like you have a good start. I have not tried it yet.
